Question

The energy of an orbit increases as we move away from the nucleus.

• A. Increases as we move away from nucleus
• B. Decreases as we move away from nucleus

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Increases as we move away from nucleus

The energy of an orbit increases as we move away from the nucleus. The energy of $L$ orbit is higher than energy associated with $K$ orbit. An electron needs the energy to go from the lower orbit to the higher orbit. So the given statement is true.
